Default Volant Cold Air Induction Kit
Anyone have it on their T/A? Just wondering if it's worth the price over a lid. Thanks

Don't have the FTRA...But this will net the best results, I would imagine.

Yes, Volant just looks kick *** and from what I've read it gives the same gains as a lid + FTRA. Volant is in my near future.

Volant doesnt get a good rap but i thought it was great... I now have a 85 mm lid and the SOTP feel of the volant was better... AND it looks sick when you open the hood.

I personally want to get the Volant as well... that way you don't have to worry about the sealing, rubbing, cracking issues that the lids have...
